Bengaluru Doctor’s Murder
The incident of the murder was reported from the Marathahalli police station limits. The victim was identified as Kruthika M. Reddy (29), and she was a dermatologist. Meanwhile, the accused was identified as her husband, a practicing surgeon, Mahendra Reddy G.S.
He was arrested in Udupi, within hours of the FIR being registered.
According to an IANS report, the incident occurred on May 26, 2024. A complaint in this regard was initially filed by Nikita M. Reddy, the victim’s sister. The police registered it as an unnatural death case. Following a fresh complaint by the victim’s father, Muni Reddy K., the police re-registered an FIR under Section 103 of the BNS Act.
The family of Kruthika Reddy has alleged in the complaint, “Postmortem analysis confirmed the presence of ‘Propofol,’ a controlled anesthetic agent restricted to operation-theatre use, in multiple organs of the deceased. Investigative findings indicate that the drug was deliberately administered intravenously, causing fatal respiratory depression.”
The family further charged that Mahendra Reddy misused his professional access to procure and administer the drug. He allegedly attempted to cover up the act by projecting it as a natural death and pressuring the family not to file a police complaint or insist on a postmortem examination.
